Fountainview at Gonda sits in Playa Vista and has 286 beds in a mid-rise building, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home services, and outpatient rehab, so residents have many care choices as their needs change, and all with a pet-friendly policy that lets people keep their furry or feathered friends nearby, which is nice when you think about how much pets mean to folks as they get older. The apartments come in one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts and they're fully furnished, with private bathrooms, kitchens or kitchenettes, air-conditioning, cable, WiFi, and even stylish touches with modern appliances and good views, so people do feel comfortable and at home. The dining program, called Tastebud Euphoria, gets known for quality meals made by chefs and planners, and the routine includes housekeeping and linen service for easy living. Fountainview at Gonda holds up its side of healthcare with daily assistance for bathing, dressing, transfers, medication help, and focused mental wellness programs, offering services for diabetes, dementia, non-ambulatory needs, incontinence, and even hospice. Nursing staff stay on 12 to 16 hours daily and there's a 24-hour call system for backup.
Activities always come up, whether resident-run or scheduled by the community, with daily events, planned trips out, book clubs, art classes, yoga, and a full calendar of cultural events, and they've got special programs too, like Zestful Living for wellness and the Enliven Creative & Adaptive Memory Care for memory care that's month-to-month with no entrance fee, which helps families not feel locked in. The building itself took awards for its sleek, airy Gensler design, and common areas like the dining room, fitness and gaming rooms, small library, wellness center, garden, outdoor space, roof pool, and even a salon and computer center give people lots of places to gather, plus community-sponsored transportation for trips and errands. They also run devotional and spiritual activities, mind-body therapies, and plenty of social events so there's always something on the go, and the residents seem to build a friendly, helpful vibe that keeps folks engaged and less alone.
